It happens. Fishing is just weird like that

**noodles355** · 2012-05-11 14:34

So I'm guessing it'll continue to happen at 100+whatever with ebisu too? Oh well, guess I'll just have to get used to it, cheers.

Best atmacites for war in vw? (assuming harder mobs with higher evasion such as Prov, Ig-alima, Morta, etc)

I currently have a Rose Strap, not really looking to drop 1 or 2m on either of those other grips, most the time I think I will use my RNG. But I geared COR up anyways. I have your xml and I think all the same gear except the +1 relic stuff. Do you use Rose Strap?

Do +DMG augments such as magian weapon ones apply to weapon rank?

**noodles355** · 2012-05-11 15:19

My XML's changed since the Save TP update but I do still use Rose Strap. I'll update the pastebin soon enough but my current STP requirements (non- /sam) are Rose Strap, Volley, Loki's, Rajas and AF3+2 legs during TP, Rose Strap only during Wildfire and Rose strap, Schutzen Mittens and Af3+2 legs during quick draw.

Idk about noodles but I mostly wf as a rng in voidwatch. During which i barely shoot and Xhit builds just don't really have much reliablity and that's not counting the variable amount of regrain from tacticians I often don't get. So really it would be kinda based on what you do. Since in some situations shooting can lower your dmg or at the very least you over tp alot or have no idea. And yes you can still do good not shooting much. I've actually parsed first not taking a single normal shot with only atmacites drinks and tacticians for buffs before since I miscalculated and only had 19 bullets to use for the entire fight

. I'd imagine cor that is off rolling and QDing shoots even less

Righteous, thanks. Remember hearing way back in the day that the original relic +DMG ones didn't, so wasn't sure.

On Rng I always shoot for TP instead of riding regain. Serk, Meds, etc and ODD makes for some mean white damage. On Corsair I also advocate shooting for TP instead of just regaining/QDing. Most DDs seem to want Fighters/Chaos anyway now. If they want tactician I'll keep it up and use drink. It usually saves me a shot with a bit of waiting, but I wouldn't regain/qd only for TP anymore, especially after the save TP update.

Yeah idk people keep wanting chaos/tact here of course I don't usually get a cor with me and never a brd. If I did I would tp alot more and /war and use last stand or on the older ones that don't have nearly as much defense. Plus between using temps and /sam I find myself not really waiting so much as timing all the other random things between ws. Like I'll often do the first couple not fully buffed basically as soon as I see a melee ws for decent hate. Then put them up while I regain back to 100 to ws again. wing again. Meditate usually rides me into another 2 especialy if conserve tp procs. I'm also really anal about tryign to get keep gnostics up.

Only if the fight goes long (especially longer without procs) do I find myself in positions where shooting doesn't slow my wsing dow. Had someone parse me the other day he kinda laughed at me since my ws/tp split was like 40k/2k lol

Up In Arms easily doable with 2 BSTs using funguar or would 3 BSTs be the recommended setup?

So I got my account back after losing it for over a year and a half, what do I need to know/do cause everything is crazy now. I feel like there's a lot to read up on and my head will explode.

**Churchill** · 2012-05-11 23:21

start abyssea stones/quest immediately, do this quest: http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/A_..._End_All_Wards and then do this one: http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Whither_the_Whisker

go to starter nation and start Voidwatch immediately

**Tricen** · 2012-05-11 23:22

Are macro's still a pain in the ass? Does SE still care about windower or whatever that one macro thing you could do so that life was significantly easier? What about Yarnball?
Actually I need a lot of help, apparently my account has 5 empyreans and a relic. What the fuck do I do

**ccf** · 2012-05-12 00:17

Does anyone know a simple website or can give me most of the Japanese translation for VW notorious monster?

I'm playing at Japanese prime time and have joined some of their ally but need help understanding their shouts.

Thanks.

**Yugl** · 2012-05-12 00:20

Bets to just learn Katakana since they say the names in Katakana. In Katakana, the name will sound like the English word.

カッゲン　Or かっげん　＝　Kaggen

Edit:Sometimes Ｔｈｅｙ say the name of the zone instead; for example:　ジュノ　＝　Ｊｅｕｎｏ

**Flic** · 2012-05-12 04:40

I use Ffxiah shout page and just translate with google, dosent translate great but you normally get an idea of what they looking for.
